Hanbo

Chapter 241: The Chief Superintendent's Niubi! ([-] monthly tickets)

"Arranging the queue, stringing the god arm crossbow, loading the arrows, and making a deterrent posture, if you rush, you will shoot a round for the Marquis, and then shoot while retreating, so if you don't rush, don't shoot, forcing them to take the east side road."

"promise."

There are still two hundred steps away from the fork in the road, which happens to be a suitable distance for the god arm crossbow to play.

Huo Shan blew his whistle after finishing his orders, and the wolves growled in response.

Huo Shan nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Sima Qian:

"Did you find anything?"

Sima Qian looked confused, Huo Shan sighed, and then said:
"Go, go up the mountain."

Huo Shan took the lead and set foot on the gentle slope to the east, climbing to the top of the mountain, and the others quickly followed.

The five climbed up to the top of the mountain. Huo Shan looked down, then took out the horn from the champion's cloth bag, and said:
"Look carefully!"

Then he ignored the few people and blew the horn directly, three short beeps in a row, and then Huo Shan stopped.

After a while, there was a response from the east, and Huo Shan nodded inwardly.

Then he picked up the horn, a long horn sounded, and then Xiaohei in the air let out an eagle howl, and the pack of wolves at the foot of Huo Shan Mountain began to howl, making the horses of Shesheng very uneasy.

And together with them, the Qiang people who were walking in the valley road at this time were walking well. Suddenly, the sound of horns and howling wolves came from ahead, which made them tense up instantly.

The team, which didn't have many formations, seemed even more chaotic.

The two commanders looked at each other, and they both saw tension in each other's eyes. If this place is ambushed, it's not a joke.

And just before the two of them gave an order, whether to retreat, rush forward in a rush, or stop on the spot, the two of them were thinking anxiously before they came, and suddenly the howling of wolves and the sound of horns came from behind.

Then the horses under their crotches began to restless and started pacing in place, which made them even more uneasy.

Because they have never seen such a situation!
The sound of the horn may be an ambush by the Han people, but where did the howling of wolves come from?
And just when they were a little confused, Sun Shang and his soldiers behind them had already launched an attack.

The soldiers did not step forward, but stuck in an unknown place, took out the magic arm crossbow and shot at the Qiang people, giving them the illusion that there were many people behind them.

And the wolves don't play tricks with you. Their task is to drive these enemies into the encirclement.

So as soon as the order was received, a group of big white wolves, which were very rare in this area, even rushed forward.

However, the oppression of the natural food chain made the horses under the Qiang's crotch panic at the first time, each of them neighed in panic, and then rushed forward regardless of anything.

And there were also Qiang people who panicked with them. Although the panic of the horses made them panic, it was other things that made them more panic.

The faint soldiers and horses because of bad eyesight, the arrows flying like a rain of arrows, and the well-organized pack of white wolves made them even more panicked.

What arrow can fly from hundreds of steps?
Who can control the wolves?

Things that they can't understand make superstitious people even more fearful.

They didn't want to step into the mountains, and stepping into the mountains was basically equivalent to breaking their own arms.

Listen to what the elders in the clan said, that one hundred thousand Qiang people were buried in the area in front of the Huqiang City.

But in the eyes of this group of newly grown Qiang people, they themselves are so powerful that it is unimaginable to bury a hundred thousand Qiang people.

And all this makes them involuntarily think wrongly.

They thought it was an ambush by the Han people, but now, another idea popped up in their minds, a guess that made them even more frightened.

I'm afraid it's not the Han people, but the ghost soldiers gathered on this battlefield.

Being backward means ignorance, and the Qiang people are even more backward than the Huns.

In fact, not to mention other people, even if Han soldiers encountered this situation, if someone said a few words and gave some guidance, they would definitely think wrong.

Why can't the ancient army believe in anything? If you want to believe, you must believe in the master of the army. Some even directly record this situation in the military law, because of this situation.

In this regard, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty are actually no better than the Qiang and Huns, and the atmosphere of the times is like this.

A simple collection of books in the belly of a fish can greatly boost the morale of the soldiers, just imagine.

Of course, in Huo Shan's army, even if you really invited some ghosts and snake gods, that's no big deal. No matter how godly you are, you have the word "champion"?
No matter how many people come, they will be suppressed by the word champion.

Huo Shan actually didn't have this idea at all. If you have a god arm crossbow, you must use good equipment. There are only so few people in total, so you can't follow behind with a knife to drive them away, right?

As for the wolves, Huo Shan just wanted to scare their horses, he didn't think of anything else at all.

And this method is only used by Huo Shan, and no one else can use it.

One is that the wolves don't listen to you, and the other is that while scaring others, it is very easy to scare yourself.

These horses have not been trained, even if they come into contact with the sounding horses along the way, they will be panicked when they howl, and need to be appeased by the soldiers, not to mention the horses of the Yueqi School Lieutenant Department, which protects the Qiang school lieutenant.

The things engraved in the genes are not so easy to overcome, or they cannot be overcome at all, and we can only get used to them slowly.

If Huo Shan knew that all of this had such a good effect, his expression would probably be extremely exciting.

.........

Before the two commanders could think of a way, there was a commotion in the rear. The two were shocked, thinking that the Han people were attacking from behind.

"what happened?"

The army stopped, and a commander yelled at the back, but no one around could answer his question, and they were also very nervous, and they wanted to know what was going on.

The army stopped in such a dangerous place, and if there were ambushes on both sides at this time, they would be finished.

After a while, the loud and chaotic sound of horseshoes sounded, and the expressions of the two changed drastically. The horse was startled, and a commander gritted his teeth and immediately shouted:
"Boys, speed up and follow me to break away from the ambush of the Han people."

Immediately after that, he rushed forward with his own soldiers, and the other Qiang people hurriedly followed.

You have no choice if you don’t run. The horses behind you are startled and keep charging forward. Now there is no other way to appease the horses. If you don’t run, there is only one result, that is, you will be trampled into a pulp.

The horses behind were startled, and as they rushed forward, the other horses that were fine in front would also startle, and then charge forward together, and in the end even the horses under their buttocks would be startled.

And there is no other way to deal with this situation, but to control it in a certain area, and wait for the horse to calm down by itself.

The two commanders couldn't figure it out, how could a well-behaved horse be startled?

But now is not the time to think about this. At this moment, the two of them are very panicked. There are Han Chinese ambushing soldiers outside, and their horses are also startled.

The only thing they think about now is to rely on this momentum, and then rush out in one go.

.........

On Huo Shan's side, watching the dust flying in the valley road not far away, people roared and hissed, and couldn't help showing a smile, then pointed to the other side, and said to the people behind him:

"coming."

Hearing such a big commotion, the complexions of several people changed slightly.

"Can this be stopped?"

Huo Shan looked up and thought for a while and said:
"I'll teach you a word today, don't panic."

The eyes of several people immediately lit up, and Huo Shan continued:
"The valley road is narrow, the cavalry on both sides can't walk, and there are enemy troops behind, the general in front doesn't know the situation behind, so he has only one choice."

Huo Shan looked at Sima Qian with a smile, and Sima Qian quickly added:

"Run forward?"

"Yes, he has only one choice, to run forward. The cavalry's strength needs to accumulate speed in order to have momentum.

And behind them was the enemy army, it was impossible for them to turn their horses around, so they had only one choice, to charge forward, accumulate speed, and then charge past the soldiers in front in one fell swoop. "

Huo Shan said while pointing to the soldiers below.

This time, it was not only Sima Qian, but even the other people's faces changed a little.

"The enemy has 2000 people, and we are only [-]. Can this be stopped?"

Huo Shan laughed:
"Yes, why not?"

Several people looked at Huo Shan suspiciously.

"The valley road is narrow, how many times have I said that the valley road is narrow!

The narrow terrain means that it is impossible for the enemy to form a formation, and it also means that only the front part of the cavalry rushes forward.

Therefore, only the cavalry in front have the impact, and the cavalry behind are just for display, their power cannot be transmitted, and it has no effect.

And I don't let them rush.

The range of the God Arm Crossbow is very long. I arrange the soldiers two hundred steps away from the fork. Before they reach the fork, I will slow down their speed. How do I do it? "

Huo Shan pointed to Zhang Anshi and asked him to answer this question.

"Go back to the governor and shoot people. As long as the knight is shot dead and the horse is uncontrolled, it will naturally slow down, and then the Qiang cavalry behind will be dragged down.

Two hundred steps is also a buffer distance. If they don't stop, our soldiers can retreat and shoot while slowly slowing down their speed.

If the speed slows down, they will naturally have a place to go. "

Zhang Anshi looked at Sima Qian with a smile, and Sima Qian immediately replied:
"This fork in the east."

Huo Shan smiled and nodded:
"What about the wolves?"

Tian Qianqiu, who had been writing vigorously by the side, stood up:

"Going back to the governor, should it be used to scare the enemy's horses, or is it in a panic, I don't know what to do?"

Huo Shan gave him a thumbs up:

"What I said above is the second-hand preparation, and the wolves on the west mountain in front of the soldiers are the first-hand preparation.

The wolves frightened the horses in the west, and the horses would only run off to the east. At that time, the cavalry would not be controlled by humans, but the horses would run away with the people. "

Everyone nodded in a sudden realization, especially Sima Qian, who said that he had learned a lot.

Huo Shan looked at Tian Qianqiu in his hand all the time, frowned and asked:

"What are you writing, what is there to remember?"

The records of Huo Shan's subordinates with the army have always been recorded after the war, just to prevent everyone from being distracted, this is the first time Tian Qianqiu remembered it on the spot.

Tian Qianqiu smiled:
"Go back to the governor, this is not a record with the army. His Royal Highness ordered it. Write it down and show it to your highness. I'm afraid I'll forget what the governor said."

Huo Shan was a little speechless, since Liu Ju had been hiding his identity since he entered Hu Qiang City, Huo Shan was afraid that there would be problems with Hu Qiang, and he was afraid that something would happen to him.

If something happened, Huo Shan would not be able to make up for the crime by committing suicide on the spot.

So Liu Ju has always followed Zhong Gan as a small official, and several palace masters who came later followed him, guarding him strictly.

However, after this battle, he will be born. It is Huo Shan's goal to take him to the Western Regions to see the battlefield and the world outside the Han Dynasty.

"I remember I didn't tell him that I was coming out, how did he know?"

Zhang Anshi on the side scratched his nose in embarrassment, saluted and replied:

"The minister said."

Huo Shan was speechless, pointing at the two with a smile and cursing:
"A sycophant."

The two were laughing and laughing, the prince is in the army, how could they not curry favor and deepen their relationship.

If it wasn't for Huo Shan's order to conceal Liu Ju's whereabouts, it is estimated that Liu Ju would accidentally meet several generals in the army every day, let alone those who can contact Liu Ju at any time.

Just at this time, the Qiang people rushed out along the valley road.

The commander who rushed to the front did not know when he ran to the back, and their personal soldiers were in front. When the two saw the sound of shooting ahead, they showed such expressions.

It's just that they are a little puzzled, why don't these people have flags?
And when they were still fifty steps away from the fork in the road, when the two commanders were about to roar twice, Huo Shan on the top of the mountain blew the horn, and on the steep hillside on the west side instantly stood up many big wolves looking up to the sky Shout out.

The horses were shocked immediately, but there was no rollover, which is very uncommon for horses.

It's just that the dozens of horses in front all turned to the east side, and the Qiang people didn't dare to go back and correct.

No matter how sideways the Qiang people are, the horses still won’t listen to you, and they can’t pull the reins. At this time, they just need to pull the reins to the right, and they will definitely roll over, and then they will be trampled to death by the army behind them.

So the dozens of riders in front just ran towards the east fork in this way, and the army behind them naturally followed.

Everything is so natural, relaxed and logical.

It's just that the alarm bells in the hearts of the two commanders were loud, but they had no choice but to rush to the crossroads together.

They were lucky, because they were not familiar with the terrain.

The cut-off soldiers didn't even shoot an arrow, but they still didn't relax their vigilance. Maybe the Qiang people behind them would adjust themselves, although the wolves kept hopping around, making the horses feel threatened all the time.

This scene is very graphic and also very legendary.

Huo Shan turned his head and raised his eyebrows at several people:
"how?"

Before the few people spoke, Tian Qianqiu next to him immediately shouted with a smile:
"Great governor's cow batch!"

Huo Shan choked for a moment, then glared at him:
"Okay, if you don't learn, optics is useless!"

As soon as Huo Shan finished speaking, Sima Qian beside him also shouted on purpose:

"Great governor's cow batch!"

Huo Shan saw that Huo Guang's face was a little moved, so he quickly interrupted him. If his uncle called him a bully, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he would not be able to bear it.

"Go down the mountain and kill the enemy!"
